Guided By Voices-Alien Lanes

This is their 1995 album release on Matador Records and features the classic line-up of Robert Pollard,his brother Jim and Tobin Sprout.Another one I had on cassette,this is a 25 year anniversary edition on turquoise vinyl with reddish brown splatter.There are 28 songs on this record,most under two minutes long. Again the record is full of catchy songs and melodies but I wish they were longer,maybe add another verse or two or an instrumental break,it seems as soon as the songs get going they are over.Nevertheless there are some songs I like including “Watch Me Jumpstart”,”As We Go Up We Go Down”,”Motor Away”,”My Valuable Hunting Knife”,”Striped White Jets”,”Blimps Go 90″ and “Little Whirl”.
